Why Developers Switch from ScreenshotOne

💰

Dramatically Better Value

ScreenshotOne's $4.99 plan gives you just 300 screenshots. ToolCenter's €9 plan gives you 10,000 calls across 5 APIs. That's over 30× more calls for less than double the price.

🧰

5 APIs Instead of 1

ScreenshotOne only captures screenshots. ToolCenter also generates PDFs, QR codes, OG images, and extracts metadata. One subscription replaces multiple services.

🔄

Easy Migration

Our screenshot API accepts similar parameters. Swap the endpoint and API key — most migrations take under 5 minutes. We even offer SDKs for Python, Node.js, PHP, and Go.

⚡

Shared Quota, More Flexibility

Your API calls are pooled across all tools. Use 5,000 for screenshots and 5,000 for PDFs — or all 10,000 for screenshots. You decide.

API Call Comparison

ScreenshotOne

GET https://api.screenshotone.com/take
  ?access_key=YOUR_KEY
  &url=https://example.com
  &viewport_width=1920
  &viewport_height=1080
  &format=png
  &block_ads=true
  &dark_mode=true

ToolCenter ✨

POST https://toolcenter.dev/api/v1/screenshot
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

{
  "url": "https://example.com",
  "width": 1920,
  "height": 1080,
  "format": "png",
  "blockAds": true,
  "darkMode": true
}

Both APIs produce the same result. ToolCenter uses standard Bearer auth and JSON body — no query string limits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ToolCenter a drop-in replacement for ScreenshotOne?

For screenshot capture, yes. The core functionality — URL-to-image with viewport settings, format selection, and ad blocking — works the same way. You'll just need to switch from query parameters to a JSON POST body and update your API key. Most developers migrate in under 5 minutes.

What extra features does ToolCenter offer over ScreenshotOne?

ToolCenter includes PDF generation, QR code creation (with custom logos), dynamic OG image generation for social media, and metadata extraction — all under the same API key and subscription. ScreenshotOne focuses exclusively on screenshots.

How does pricing compare for high-volume usage?

At 10,000 calls/month, ToolCenter costs €9 vs ScreenshotOne's ~$33 (their $16.99 plan covers 5,000 calls). At 50,000 calls, ToolCenter is €29 while ScreenshotOne would cost significantly more. The gap widens as you scale.

Do you support the same screenshot options as ScreenshotOne?

Yes — we support full page capture, dark mode, ad blocking, custom CSS/JS injection, device emulation, multiple output formats (PNG, JPG, WebP), custom viewport sizes, wait-for-selector, and geolocation. We also add timezone spoofing and cookie banner removal.
